Electoral Renewal Canada on Bluesky

Two-party systems are bad democracy, it's that simple.

When the two dominant parties are widely unpopular, this would be fertile ground for the growth of a third party in a proportional system.

Winner-take-all First-Past-the-Post gives a chokehold to big parties.

And don't assume that Instant Run-Off voting (aka. Alternative Vote) would be much better.

Australia, which uses IRV, has an even stronger two party system than Canada. Minority governments are rare.

The only way to break the two-party stanglehold [sic] is a proportional system, like MMPR or STV.
